Hi,
I have an install of Netdrive3 on Windows Server 2019 syncing a SharePoint documents folder, and the folder does not automatically refresh. Please let me know the fix for this issue.

Thank you
Scott

Dear Scott,

Thank you for reaching out and for using NetDrive.

NetDrive is designed to automatically reload remote contents when revisiting a folder after 20 seconds since the last access. This is the default behavior to ensure that any updated content is synced without overloading the system.

If you continue experiencing issues or if the folder does not refresh as expected, please let us know so we can further assist.

Best regards.

Hi Tsjeong,
I have still experiencing the issue. I have attempted using older versions of Netdrive with no success. I cleared all local folders upon each reinstall with the same result. I also tested editing the ndfs.ini file with different cache settings with the same result. Please let me know the next steps to resolve the issue. This is the custom edit of the ndfs.ini I attempted.

[CACHE]
notify_cache_path_size=10
clear_used_block=60
clear_unused_block=3600
clear_used_block_when_quota_exceed=30
clear_unused_block_when_quota_exceed=60

Thank you

Dear Scott,

Thank you for your patience as we work to address this issue.

As I mentioned previously, NetDrive is designed to automatically refresh remote content when you revisit a folder after 20 seconds have passed since your last visit. This default behavior helps balance system performance with up-to-date file synchronization. Please note that the CACHE settings you attempted do not influence the refresh functionality.

If you need more frequent automated refreshes, you can use the command line interface (CLI) provided by NetDrive. For detailed CLI instructions, please refer to the following link: NetDrive CLI Manual

To automate the refresh process, you can create a batch file. Here is a sample batch script for a continuous refresh:

echo start batch file

:FOR
nd3cmd refreshpath “F:\download”

timeout 5
@GOTO FOR

This script will refresh the specified path every 5 seconds. You can adjust the timeout duration to meet your specific requirements.

Please let us know if this helps resolve your needs or if you have further questions.

Best regards.

Is there a way to refresh a single drive letter? RefreshPath needs a specific path.

Thank you

Dear Scott,

Thank you for reaching out.

Currently, the RefreshPath command requires a specific folder path and cannot refresh an entire drive or its subfolders with a single drive letter alone. You’ll need to specify the full path of the folder you want to refresh.

If you need further assistance or have additional questions, feel free to reach out.

Best regards.
